Research Hotspots and Trends of RNA Research in Diabetic Retinopathy: Insights From Bibliometric Analysis.

Background: Research on RNA in diabetic retinopathy (DR) has received increasing attention in recent years. However, there is a lack of comprehensive and systematic research on the current status and future direction of RNA research in DR. Therefore, this study used bibliometric analysis to summarize the global trends and current status of DR RNA research to date.

Efficacy and safety of Danggui Liuhuang Decoction combined with antithyroid drugs for hyperthyroidism: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Hyperthyroidism is a prevalent clinical endocrine disorder. Danggui Liuhuang Decoction (DGLHD), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine formula, has shown potential benefits for patients with hyperthyroidism in recent studies. However, the clinical efficacy and safety of DGLHD have not been systematically evaluated.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Metabolic Indicators in Patients with Drug-Naive First-Episode Schizophrenia: A Case-Control Study.

Objective: This paper aims to explore the expression characteristics of mitochondrial function-related genes in patients with first-episode schizophrenia (SCZ)and the correlation between differentially expressed genes and clinical metabolic indicators.

Methods: Twenty patients with first-episode SCZ who had not taken antipsychotic drugs (patient group) and twenty healthy controls (control group) were included. Quantitative real-time PCR technology was used to detect the expression levels of genes related to mitochondrial quality control and oxidative phosphorylation in peripheral blood leukocytes, and metabolic indicators such as blood biochemistry and blood glucose were collected.

VX-702 Ameliorates the Severity of Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury by Downregulating Inflammatory Factors in Macrophages.

Purpose: Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) contributes to high mortality, but it is lack of specific treatments. We aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of S-AKI and to identify target drugs to alleviate AKI.

Methods: We establish a stable mouse model of S-AKI by Pseudomonas aeruginosa incision infection.

Predictive performance of two types of urinary biomarkers for renal non-recovery in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury: a prospective observational study.

Background And Purpose: Renal non-recovery is known to have negative prognostic implications in patients suffering from acute kidney injury (AKI). Nevertheless, the identification of biomarkers for predicting renal non-recovery in sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) within clinical settings remains unresolved. This study aims to evaluate and compare the predictive ability for renal non-recovery, use of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and 30-day mortality after SA-AKI by two urinary biomarkers, namely C-C motif chemokine ligand 14 (CCL14) and [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7].

Associations between type 1 diabetes and pulmonary tuberculosis: a bidirectional mendelian randomization study.

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been associated with higher pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) risk in observational studies. However, the causal relationship between them remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the causal effect between T1DM and PTB using bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Association between the levels of urinary cell cycle biomarkers and non-recovery of renal function among critically ill geriatric patients with acute kidney injury.

The lack of early renal function recovery among geriatric patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a commonly observed and acknowledged poor prognostic factor, especially for older adults. However, no reliable prognostic biomarker is available for identifying individuals at risk of renal non-recovery or mortality in older adults. In this prospective observational cohort study, we enrolled critically ill older adults (aged ≥ 60 years) with AKI from the ICU and followed their disease progression.

Liquid biopsy epigenomic profiling for cancer subtyping.

Although circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays are increasingly used to inform clinical decisions in cancer care, they have limited ability to identify the transcriptional programs that govern cancer phenotypes and their dynamic changes during the course of disease. To address these limitations, we developed a method for comprehensive epigenomic profiling of cancer from 1 ml of patient plasma. Using an immunoprecipitation-based approach targeting histone modifications and DNA methylation, we measured 1,268 epigenomic profiles in plasma from 433 individuals with one of 15 cancers.

Efficacy and safety of in the treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of (OS) preparations for the treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). We searched eight databases to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of OS combined with a low-iodine diet or levothyroxine for HT. The search period was from inception to June 2023.

Urinary cell cycle biomarkers for the prediction of renal non-recovery in patients with septic acute kidney injury: a prospective study.

Background: Poor prognosis has been associated with the absence of renal recovery after acute kidney injury (AKI). This study aimed to investigate whether urinary biomarkers at 0 and 24 h could be used independently or in conjunction with a clinical model to predict renal non-recovery in septic AKI.

Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted to measure the urinary levels of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) at the time of AKI diagnosis (0 h) and 24 h later.

KDM6A epigenetically regulates subtype plasticity in small cell lung cancer.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) exists broadly in four molecular subtypes: ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3 and Inflammatory. Initially, SCLC subtypes were thought to be mutually exclusive, but recent evidence shows intra-tumoural subtype heterogeneity and plasticity between subtypes. Here, using a CRISPR-based autochthonous SCLC genetically engineered mouse model to study the consequences of KDM6A/UTX inactivation, we show that KDM6A inactivation induced plasticity from ASCL1 to NEUROD1 resulting in SCLC tumours that express both ASCL1 and NEUROD1.

scATAnno: Automated Cell Type Annotation for single-cell ATAC Sequencing Data.

Recent advances in single-cell epigenomic techniques have created a growing demand for scATAC-seq analysis. One key analysis task is to determine cell type identity based on the epigenetic data. We introduce scATAnno, a python package designed to automatically annotate scATAC-seq data using large-scale scATAC-seq reference atlases.

Association of Mitral Regurgitation with Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Critically Ill Noncardiac Surgery Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in critically ill patients and can have serious consequences. Postoperative AF (POAF) in critically ill patients following noncardiac surgery has been understudied, contrary to cardiac procedures. Mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with left ventricular dysfunction, which might contribute to the occurrence of AF in postoperative critically ill patients.

Efficacy and safety of Keluoxin capsule in combination with Western medicine for diabetic kidney disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Keluoxin capsule (KLXC) has been widely used in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), but its efficacy and safety have not yet been clarified. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to assess the efficacy and safety of KLXC for DKD. The randomized control trials (RCTs) included KLXC searched from seven major English and Chinese databases up until 3 June 2022.
